In this video we will be having a closer look at generating electrical energy with heat. Directly converting heat into electricity is possible to do with so-called Peltier Modules. That is why we will test a few of them in this video and then build a hopefully functional heat generator with them that will turn the heat of my fireplace into electricity. Will this be enough to power my home? phone? TV? We will see ;-) Let's get started!
